    Lean and Continuous Improvement Using Toyota Kata

    Many organizations have invested time and money in Continuous Improvement intending to be “Lean like Toyota”, only to be dissatisfied with the return on that investment.  Lean and Continuous Improvement tools are widely available and understood. 

    Other organizations have had limited success copying Toyota....Why?   What is missing?

    We saw all the tools Toyota used on their shop floor.  We did not recognize the patterns of Leadership, Mentoring, and Way of Thinking, that created the tools.  These patterns are the core of Toyota Kata.

    The word Kata, literally translated as “Way of Doing”, are routines, or patterns of activity, that when practiced provide a methodology to master a skill.

    Toyota Kata describes 3 basic concepts needed to master improvement.
    Ø  Improvement Pattern:      Identifies and drives improvement of our processes
    Ø  Target Process Conditions:     Describe how we want a process to work
    Ø  Mentoring Pattern:      Guides and teaches the Improvement Pattern


    Agenda:
    5:00 to 6:00 PM - Networking
    6:00 to 6:30 PM - Dinner
    6:30 to 7:30 PM - Presentation
